Animal Lovers

As the owners of Thunder Valley Kennels, God instilled in each of us the love of animals at an early age.  We both grew up on dairy farms and learned what it meant to take great care of animals as well as the hours involved.

Thru the obedience classes that Jerry previously offered, people would ask where they could take their furry friend while needing to be away.  With enough asking, we opened our kennel facility in 2003 and have been busy from the start.

Our personal pet population includes:

Yorkie - Nitro

Cats - Annie, Leo, Tigress, Sully, Elvis and Sidekick

Latecia is the main caretaker of the kennel.  I consider it a big responsibility to care for other people’s animals but also consider it a privilege.

Christina has been working with me for almost 8 years now and has been a certified groomer for 6 years.  She also helps care for the dogs and manages the kennel for those times my family is away.

It's encouraging to hear kind words about her work when I'm out and about in our little town of Minerva.  She does a great job!
